   *   Basic Data Types

   *   The basic data types defined by the library.

   * @description:
   *   This section contains the basic data types defined by FreeType~2,
   *   ranging from simple scalar types to bitmap descriptors.  More
   *   font-specific structures are defined in a different section.  Note
   *   that FreeType does not use floating-point data types.  Fractional
   *   values are represented by fixed-point integers, with lower bits
   *   storing the fractional part.
